i’m speechless

This is how the system of white supremacy  operates. The media is used 2 create stereotypes like blk on blk crime.They need black men to fill jail cells for the Prison Indstrial complex

You know what? I’m tired of this. I do not know what exactly they are waiting for. I mean our government comes up with “reasons” to invade other countries, such as Syria, like their government is allegedly violating human rights or something like that. but… I mean for other countries, they do not even have to go deep to bomb the fuck out of this place, they can just look at our media. And this has been happening to people of color since the media has existed.

I’ll never forget this 👇🏾

Did a research project on this in undergrad and the results are extremely alarming because it’s not just in imagery, it’s in language used even in the law making process and within our own communities in a completely different way than expected.

This post is too real and needs a gazillion bazillion more notes.

Spent the night emailing Elementary schools because I’m tired of this.

What if we just remove men from politics? 🤔

[taramaclaywasaterf]

Men don’t realize what stuff like this does to young girls growing up. The effect it has on us, never seeing ourselves in power. Just like young children of color never see themselves in power. It’s just picture after picture of white men in black suits, over and over and over again. They’ll never understand what that’s like.

A related problem is what this does to young boys—and especially young, white boys. This creates the idea that white men are the default members of society, and this is partly why, by the time they’re 18, so many white men are completely incapable of empathising with marginalised peoples.

rich people saying the poor don’t understand how the world works, 

when they’re always telling folks to sell their phones if they don’t have money.

they think folks can both get a buyer for their shitty used 5+ year old smartphone which is already a pipe dream

BUT THEN on top of this they think folks can make enough money off of this mystical buyer to pay for all of their living needs.

and then they think nothing bad will happen to a poor person without a phone, as if this shit isn’t necessary for jobs or school, etc.

Buddy, I’m sorry but if this is something you actually think, then I struggle to believe you have financial competency of any kind.

if your advice to someone struggling financially is for them to sell their much needed tech for a fraction of the original price you should never open your mouth, because you have nothing important to say.

honestly, i dont even think you need a mouth at that point.

all public schools should provide clean water to their students, the fact that many knowingly don’t is child abuse.

[justsomeantifas]

portland oregon constantly has a lead problem in their school’s drinking water

detroit michigan constantly has lead problems in their school’s drinking water

and i could go on.

32 states were observed, including the District of Columbia, and 22 of them are failing to protect their kids from lead in the drinking water

this isn’t federally regulated, only 9 states [including D.C] have mandatory water testing laws in any capacity 

and the government obviously isn’t making any real move to jump on cleaning up drinking water for kids.

[afearing]

i attended a civil engineering conference this year and one of the speakers had spent his whole career testing for lead in drinking water. he said that the MAJORITY of schools he tested had at least one impacted tap. fucked up if you ask me

A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification. article here

i’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up.

WHAT!?

[fersureyoubetcha]

gross gross gross gross gross

[durnesque-esque]

Good morning disgusting. Remember ladies:

“No space, leave the place” (fingernail test)

A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it.

If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation.

Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room.

You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass.

The room being viewed will have to be brightly lit (10x brighter than the room looking in), so if you’re in a typical dimly lit club bathroom, you’re ok.

They have this in Continental Midtown in Philly, it’s fucking creepy and not cool at all

[umbr]

the most obvious solution i can think of is to break that motherfucker. what are they going to do? sue you for breaking something they shouldnt have had?

[gender-euphowrya]

That’s fucking disgusting.

[triplebigday]

Hey, fellas. You ever feel like you have to check if you’re standing in front of a two-way mirror? Women do.

[honey-sunny-bee]

Important note: the fingernail test is not accurate! Some cheaper quality mirrors won’t have the gap (like the ones in jewlery boxes and sometimes in hotels), but that doesn’t mean that they’re not regular mirrors. Use the rest of the tips to determine if it’s a 2 way mirror.

Maybe we'll meet again, when we are slightly older and our minds less hectic, and I'll be right for you and you'll be right for me. But right now I am chaos to your thoughts and you are poison to my heart.
